Every team is different. And when you collaborate with Collective Capital, we'll customize our work to your team's specific goals. Below, you'll find some of the most common objectives of our clients. And let us know if you have something else in mind, and we'll be happy to design a program around it. We combine these goals with a variety of offerings, from workshops to keynote speeches to design thinking consulting. 

Connect with your clients and coworkers across all industries and levels.

Build authentic connections and a culture of feedback.

A 2016 Google study found that the main indicator of a successful team is a feeling of psychological safety. When employees feel respected and trusted by their team, they are able to take risks, speak boldly, and create their best work. When clients feel heard and respected, they are able to provide valuable feedback and advocate on your behalf. We believe that trust is a mindset that must be cultivated and that everyone can - and should - learn the skills that will help you connect with anyone in any situation.

We've helped clients meet this goal through weekly coaching sessions, half-day high-energy workshops, monthly drop-in sessions, and participatory conference speeches. Click to learn more about our interactive learning and speaking and performances offerings.


Be heard when it matters most.

Improve your presence and attention.

What if you could speak in a way so that people would listen? And what if you could listen in a way so that people would speak? We live in an age where ideas are meaningless unless they can be communicated effectively. Let us help you develop your voice and hone your attention.

Depending on who you want to reach, we recommend one-on-one or small group coaching sessions for leaders, facilitated workshops for teams, and interactive speeches at all-company meetings and conferences. Click to learn more about our interactive learning and speaking and performances offerings. 


Create a culture of originality.

Cultivate behaviors of smart risk-taking and resilience.

Thomas Edison famously said, “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” You cannot achieve your greatest successes without taking risks and being comfortable with failure. We’ll provide the low-pressure environment to help build your team’s resilience muscles and help you get smart about taking risks.

What does this look like?

These fun and interactive exercises go great at the beginning of your conference or all-hands meeting. Or they can be used in a half-day workshop or weekly practice sessions. And, if you're feeling adventurous, let us customize a day-long experience that will get your team out of the office and building their resilience muscles in the real world.

Get to the heart of what your customers want.

Ask for problems, not solutions.

Throw out the surveys and statistics. What if you could get to know your customers beyond the numbers? By using the skills of human-centered design, you’ll learn how to ask the right questions, elicit meaningful feedback, and create solutions that will make an impact in the world.

What does this look like?

If you're looking to embed design thinking in your company culture, we recommend a project partnership. Let us introduce you to the foundational skills of design thinking, lead your team through low-risk practice sessions, and provide mentorship and feedback throughout the course of your next project. And for teams that want to get a taste of these skills, we recommend a 1-2 day intro to design thinking course.
